I was ready to upgrade Air 3 when it comes out this year but I lost 2 Air 1 in a month of September and my insurance decided to ship me a new Air 2 instead so now I have trouble deciding if I want to upgrade Air 3 because Air 2 still powerful. Maybe new features on Air 3 will change my mind?
 
I just got the iPad Air 2 and have no regrets. It's very fast and is a pleasure to use. Waiting for the iPad Air 3 means paying full price for it. If you choose the iPad Air 2, you can get it heavily discounted.
 
Enjoy your Air 2. It's a great tablet. Bearing in mind that we are only weeks away from March and we have seen no leaks about an Air 3, I am not even sure if Apple will announce a new iPad in March.

I'm waiting for the Air 4 and 5.
 
I purchased 2 Air 2s at launch in 2014 and it was the best calculated decision ever.

More than 1 year and it still performs (almost) flawlessly on iOS 9.2.1/9.3 b1.

If Air 3 has increase in resolution with no increase in GPU power and RAM size, we will have a repeat of iPad 3 scenario in which case buying Air 2 would make maximum sense.

So wait it out till March end to see otherwise buy Air 2 now if you get 150-200$ discount.
